McVay should ignore seeding. Too much in flux anyway.
He should also play to win next week and only rest a few starters.
Rest Stafford b/c we can't risk injury to him. Rest Hav b/c he's recovering from injury and we need every starting OT. Rest Kupp b/c he's old and we need vintage Kupp.
Everyone else plays!
The OL can continue to gel. The offense as a whole needs reps so they don't get rusty.
The defense is young and needs reps to continue its improvement.
